Binibining Pilipinas‘ “The Search Is On” social media post is finally here — the announcement for the opening of the 2025 national competition that avid followers have been eagerly waiting for.
Applications for the longest-running national beauty pageant officially opened on Wednesday, March 5.
“THE SEARCH IS ON for the next Binibining Pilipinas queens!” pageant organizers announced on social media. “For 61 years, Binibining Pilipinas has crowned icons, empowered voices, and set the stage for greatness. Will you be the next Binibini to wear the crown? [crown emoji][star emoji].”
The pageant has been championing Filipino beauty on the global stage for six decades, producing winners in the most prestigious international competitions.
The Philippines has become the most successful Asian country in the Miss Universe and Miss International pageants because of Binibining Pilipinas.
Five Miss International winners have come from Binibining Pilipinas — Aurora Pijuan, Melanie Marquez, Precious Lara Quigaman, Bea Rose Santiago, and Kylie Verzosa.
Meanwhile, four Filipino Miss Universe winners — Gloria Diaz, Margie Moran, Pia Wurtzbach, and Catriona Gray — are all Bb. Pilipinas queens, prior to the transfer of the national franchise to Miss Universe Philippines, now headed by its former titleholder, 2013 Binibining Pilipinas Ariella Arida.
Incidentally both Arida and MUPH’s previous national director Shamcey Supsup-Lee are also products of Binibini, and did well in the global pageant, finishing 3rd runner-up during their respective years.
The national pageant also produced the country’s lone Miss Supranational winner, Mutya Datul, while Ann Colis and Maureen Montagne have brought home The Miss Globe crown.
The country’s two Miss Intercontinental winners Karen Gallman and Cinderella Faye Obeñita are also products of the national search.
Binibining Pilipinas 2025 hopefuls are asked to download and send their application forms to the pageant’s official website (https://www.bbpilipinas.com/), or via e-mail to BPCI@aranetagroup.com.
Applicants may also personally deliver their applications to the BPCI Office, 8th Floor, Aurora Tower, Gen. Malvar St., Araneta City, Quezon City.
Deadline for submission of applications is on March 21.
